Description
本發明是有關於一種振盪器及其製作方法,特別是指一種具有高振盪頻率的晶體振盪器及其製作方法。 The present invention relates to an oscillator and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a crystal oscillator with high oscillation frequency and a manufacturing method thereof.
現有的晶體振盪器的結構大致包含一由石英晶體所構成的振動板,及二分別形成於該振動板相對二表面並用以供對外電連接的電極。因應產業需求,晶體振盪器逐步往輕量化、薄型化的方向發展,透過減薄該振動板的厚度以產生更高的振盪頻率,而有助於應用在高頻通訊領域。例如,日本發明專利第JP2014154994A號公開案即揭示了一種振動元件,利用局部薄化的方式使該振動元件的基板具有一成平板狀的振動部,以及與該振動部一體化且厚度較厚的厚壁部,藉由控制該基板的整體厚度(即中央區域薄化,周緣較厚之態樣)以達成預設的振動頻率,並利用該厚壁部作為加強元件強度以及進行後續製程時用於夾持的部位,以避免振動元件因薄化後基板的強度不足而容易在製程中碎裂的問題。 The structure of the existing crystal oscillator generally includes a vibrating plate made of quartz crystal, and two electrodes respectively formed on two opposite surfaces of the vibrating plate and used for external electrical connection. In response to industrial needs, crystal oscillators are gradually developing towards light weight and thinning. By reducing the thickness of the vibrating plate to generate a higher oscillation frequency, it is helpful for application in the field of high frequency communication. For example, Japanese Invention Patent No. JP2014154994A discloses a vibrating element, in which the substrate of the vibrating element has a flat-plate-shaped vibrating portion by means of partial thinning, and a thicker vibrating portion integrated with the vibrating portion. The thick-walled portion can achieve a preset vibration frequency by controlling the overall thickness of the substrate (that is, the central area is thinned and the peripheral edge is thicker), and the thick-walled portion is used to strengthen the strength of the element and to be used in subsequent processes. At the clamping part, to avoid the problem that the vibration element is easily broken during the manufacturing process due to the insufficient strength of the thinned substrate.
然而,前述為了避免薄化後之基板碎裂而增設的厚壁部 卻也會增加元件整體的重量,而不利於產品的輕量化。 However, the aforementioned thick wall portion is added in order to avoid the breakage of the thinned substrate However, it will also increase the overall weight of the components, which is not conducive to the lightweight of the product.
因此,本發明的目的,即在提供一種輕量化之晶體振盪器的製作方法。 Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a light-weight crystal oscillator.

該第二電極製作步驟是於該薄化壓電基板反向該暫時基板的表面形成一第二電極,該第二電極具有一對應於該第一電極部且具有至少一孔洞的第二電極部,及一自該第二電極部延伸至該薄化壓電基板的周緣的第二延伸電極部,且令該第二電極部的正投影範圍與該第一電極部至少部分重合。 The second electrode fabrication step is to form a second electrode on the surface of the thinned piezoelectric substrate opposite to the temporary substrate, the second electrode has a second electrode portion corresponding to the first electrode portion and having at least one hole , and a second extending electrode portion extending from the second electrode portion to the periphery of the thinned piezoelectric substrate, and the orthographic projection range of the second electrode portion is at least partially coincident with the first electrode portion.
該延伸電極製作步驟是形成一自該第一電極部延伸並沿著該薄化壓電基板的側周面延伸至該薄化壓電基板形成有該第二電極的表面的第一延伸電極部。 The extended electrode fabrication step is to form a first extended electrode portion extending from the first electrode portion and extending along the side peripheral surface of the thinned piezoelectric substrate to the surface of the thinned piezoelectric substrate on which the second electrode is formed .
該框架形成步驟是在該薄化壓電基板反向該第一電極的表面上形成一具有預定厚度,且框圍該第二電極部並壓設於該第二延伸電極部上的中空框架。 In the frame forming step, a hollow frame with a predetermined thickness is formed on the surface of the thinned piezoelectric substrate opposite to the first electrode, which surrounds the second electrode portion and is pressed on the second extending electrode portion.
該第二次薄化步驟是以該第二電極為遮罩,利用蝕刻的方式將該薄化壓電基板對位於該至少一孔洞的位置進行薄化,以形成一第二半成品。 In the second thinning step, the second electrode is used as a mask, and the thinned piezoelectric substrate is thinned at the position of the at least one hole by etching to form a second semi-finished product.
又,本發明的另一目的,即在提供一種輕量化的晶體振盪器。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a light-weight crystal oscillator.
於是,本發明晶體振盪器,包含一振盪基板、一中空框架、一第一電極,及一第二電極。 Therefore, the crystal oscillator of the present invention includes an oscillating substrate, a hollow frame, a first electrode, and a second electrode.

The oscillating portion is jointly defined by a main oscillating region and a thinned region with a thickness smaller than that of the main oscillating region. .
該中空框架設置於該振盪基板的第二表面,並界定出該振盪部。 The hollow frame is disposed on the second surface of the oscillating substrate and defines the oscillating portion.
該第一電極包括一形成於該振盪基板的該第一表面的第一電極部,及一自該第一電極部延伸並沿著該振盪基板的側周面延 伸至該第二表面的第一延伸電極部。 The first electrode includes a first electrode portion formed on the first surface of the oscillating substrate, and a first electrode portion extending from the first electrode portion and extending along the side peripheral surface of the oscillating substrate extending to the first extension electrode portion of the second surface.
該第二電極位於該振盪基板的該第二表面,包括一與該第一電極部的正投影範圍至少部分疊合並位於該振盪部的第二電極部,及一自該第二電極部延伸至與該第一延伸電極部位於同側的第二延伸電極部,且該第二電極部具有對應形成於該薄化區的至少一孔洞。 The second electrode is located on the second surface of the oscillating substrate, and includes a second electrode portion that at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection range of the first electrode portion and is located on the oscillating portion, and a second electrode portion extending from the second electrode portion to A second extension electrode portion located on the same side as the first extension electrode portion, and the second electrode portion has at least one hole corresponding to the thinned region.
本發明的功效在於:利用該第二電極作為遮罩,而可以蝕刻方式對該振盪基板的振盪部未形成電極的區域進行減薄,使該振盪部整體具有兩種不同的厚度,且更加薄化,而可使該晶體振盪器具有符合預期的振盪頻率的同時,還得以進一步減輕該晶體振盪器整體的重量。 The effect of the present invention lies in: using the second electrode as a mask, the area of the oscillating part of the oscillating substrate without electrodes can be thinned by etching, so that the whole oscillating part has two different thicknesses and is thinner Therefore, the crystal oscillator can have an expected oscillation frequency, and at the same time, the overall weight of the crystal oscillator can be further reduced.

該貼合步驟82是將該第一半成品300以該第一電極部41朝向一暫時基板7的方向貼合於該暫時基板7,而可在後續的薄化製程及電極製作過程中提供支撐,以避免該振盪基板2在製程中破碎。

該第一次薄化步驟83是將該壓電基板60進行全面薄化,而得到一具有該第一厚度T1的薄化壓電基板6,且該第一厚度T1小於該壓電基板60的厚度。在本實施例中,是以研磨或化學蝕刻的方式將該壓電基板60進行薄化而形成該薄化壓電基板6。

在一些實施例中,也可視製程需求調整該第二電極製作步驟84與該延伸電極製作步驟85的實施順序,即,也可先實施該延伸電極製作步驟85再進行該第二電極製作步驟84。
In some embodiments, the execution sequence of the second
此外,在一些實施例中,於該延伸電極製作步驟85時,該第一延伸電極部42也可先與該第二電極延伸部52同時製作於該第二表面22,之後,再利用銀膠連接該第一電極部41及該第一延伸電極部42,以完成該第一電極4的製作。
In addition, in some embodiments, in the extending
該框架形成步驟86是在該薄化壓電基板6反向該第一電極部41的表面上形成一具有預定厚度且框圍該第二電極部51的中空框架3,且該中空框架3壓設於該第二延伸電極部52上。要說明的是,該框架形成步驟86依據該中空框架3的構成材料不同,而以不同方式執行。例如,可以光阻材料透過微影方式形成該中空框架
3。或是,也可以利用黏膠將一由絕緣材料構成且事先加工完成,具有預定形狀及厚度的中空框材貼合在該薄化壓電基板6的表面上,以形成該中空框架3。
